About Arketa
Arketa is building the operating system for modern fitness and wellness. Our mission is to make wellness more accessible by empowering studios and wellness entrepreneurs to grow beyond in-person classes. We provide a powerful, all-in-one platform to manage and scale hybrid wellness businesses — whether online, in-person, or both.
With Arketa, studios can manage schedules, accept bookings and payments, build on-demand video libraries, host retreats, run automated marketing, and launch fully branded apps and websites. We make it simple for founders to deliver a seamless, professional experience across every customer touchpoint.
We’ve raised $15M in Series A funding and are growing quickly. It’s a unique moment to join us — we’re building a category-defining company in a fast-moving space, and we’re looking for teammates who are excited to help shape the future of wellness.
The Role: Recruiting Lead (Technical & GTM) — Founding Team
Arketa is hiring a Recruiting Lead to build and run the talent engine that powers our next phase of growth.
You will partner directly with founders and executives, own searches end-to-end across engineering and go-to-market roles, and design the recruiting foundation that scales us from where we are today to our next chapter. This is a deeply impactful role with significant ownership, where the quality of your hires will directly influence Arketa’s trajectory.
We’re looking for someone who is technical enough to recruit high-caliber engineers, versatile enough to hire sales and customer-facing roles, and senior enough to operate independently in a fast-paced environment. You’ll be both a builder and an operator — running searches while shaping the systems, processes, and brand that define Arketa’s hiring motion.
If you thrive in high-velocity environments, enjoy wearing many hats, and want to shape the early team at a growing company, we’d love to talk.
What You’ll Do
Own full-cycle recruiting across engineering, sales, support and operations
Partner with founders and hiring managers to define role requirements, create scorecards, and build structured interview loops
Build top-of-funnel sourcing strategies using scrappy, creative tactics beyond LinkedIn
Craft compelling narratives that attract world-class builders aligned with Arketa’s mission
Drive a high-touch candidate experience with speed, clarity, and consistency
Build recruiting infrastructure (ATS workflows, interview training, pipelines, dashboards)
Track funnel metrics, diagnose bottlenecks, and report insights to leadership
Establish and elevate Arketa’s employer brand across channels
Ensure every candidate leaves as an advocate — regardless of outcome
Help define headcount plans and hiring strategies as we scale
What We’re Looking For
5–7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in fast-paced, high-growth tech startups
Technical recruiting experience is required — you’ve hired engineers and understand how to assess them
GTM recruiting experience is also required — AEs, SDRs, Ops, or Marketing
Strong sourcing muscle; you generate your own pipeline and know how to reach passive candidates
Experience running searches end-to-end without coordinator support
Excellent communicator and storyteller; able to represent Arketa’s mission credibly and clearly
Ability to partner closely with founders, execs, and senior ICs
Organized operator who thrives in ambiguity and builds systems from scratch
High judgment, high ownership, low ego, and a bias toward speed
Candidate-centric approach balanced with data-driven prioritization
Nice-to-Have
Experience with Ashby or similar modern HR tech
Technical literacy (back & frontend familiarity)
Experience building or scaling recruiting at a Series A/B startup
Track record of closing senior or leadership candidates
Experience with employer brand, content, or recruiting marketing
Existing network of top operators and engineers
What We Offer
Competitive salary and meaningful equity
Annual performance-based bonuses
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
Unlimited PTO and flexible remote-friendly work
Wellness reimbursement
Ownership, autonomy, and high visibility across the company
For this role, the estimated annual base salary range is $140,000–$170,000, depending on experience and qualifications. We believe in transparent and fair compensation, and we’re happy to share more during the interview process.
Arketa is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who share our values of respect, collaboration, and excellence.
